The Mountain Zebra National Park outside Cradock in the Eastern Cape, celebrated its 80th birthday on July 31, by unveiling new accommodation.
There are two luxury rock chalets accommodating two guests per room, and six two-sleeper cottages.
The new accommodation is in the top region of the rest camp, inside the reserve.
The renovations and upgraded infrastructure cost R13.5 million (€860 000), and took 12 months to complete, creating 40 temporary and six permanent jobs during the construction phase, according to Managing Executive of SANParks, Property Mokoena.
SANParks said bookings would open around October 1, once the lodge has officially opened.
